Model 577 Curve Tracer Procedure Notes
Because the curve tracer procedures in this application note are written for the Tektronix model 576 curve tracer, certain settings must
be adjusted when using model 577. Model 576 curve tracer has separate controls for polarity (AC,+,-) and mode (Norm, DC, Leakage),
whereas Model 577 has only a polarity control. The following table shows the guidelines for setting Collector Supply Polarity when
using model 577. (Figure AN1006.28)
One difference between models 576 and 577 is the Step/Offset
Polarity setting. The polarity is inverted when the button is
depressed on the Model 576 curve tracer. The Model 577 is
opposite
is extended and “Normal” when the button is depressed. The
Step/Offset Polarity is used only when measuring I
triacs and Quadracs in Quadrants l through lV.
Also, the Variable Collector Supply Voltage Range and Power
Dissipation controls have different scales than model 576. The
following table shows the guidelines for setting Power Dissipation
when using model 577.
Although the maximum power setting on model 576 curve tracer
is 220 W (compared to 100 W for model 577), the maximum col-
lector current available is approximately the same. This is due to
the minimum voltage range on model 577 curve tracer being
6.5 V compared to 15 V for model 576. The following table shows
the guidelines for adapting Collector Voltage Supply Range set-
tings for model 577 curve tracer procedures:
